Even though the wearable market grew by 170.3%, the shipment of wearable devices declined by 24.9%. An official spokesperson from IDC attributed the decline of shipment to the COVID-19 pandemic and the limit set by the companies on fresh purchases by channel partners.

:::Nintendo has announced that "Pokemon Legends: Arceus" will be launched on Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022. This announcement has increased the excitement of every gamer who was waiting for it since February 2021, the day when the game was first announced.

A user only has to connect it to the computer by using a Thunderbolt 3 cable. It will support six types of cards namely, CFast, CFexpress, Red's Mini-Mags, CF, microSD, and SD formats.
